I would be so honored! I got goosebumps reading your email, I think because I'm so excited about this class you're taking and the ideas you're exploring, and even more excited to be part of those explorations. There's a thrill to having someone understand you in a way you've not even fully understood yourself. I've always had a hard time explaining what it is that I do when I write here, partially because my focus is so wide. I had never put it together like that, but in a way - I think you kind of hit the nail on the head by connecting the folklore aspect. All the things that I love to write about (foodways, ritual, story telling, ghost stories, digital memorials, etc.) are definitely part of that tradition of sharing information with a community, though the community has grown to encompass the world! I love sharing recipes or dreams with friends I've never met who live in Finland or Brazil, and this method makes it possible. I also started writing online back in 2002, as a way to connect with far-flung friends. This was back before blog was really a word (a terrible, inadequate word!), and I had no inkling then of what this all would one day become. I cannot wait to read your paper! Thank you so much for reading, and for this - you've really inspired me, and I'd love to hear more about your class. Send me your notes! If you have any questions, just let me know. love, Angeliska Dear Madeleine,
Oh my stars! I would be so honored! I got goosebumps reading your email, I think because I’m so excited about this class you’re taking and the ideas you’re exploring, and even more excited to be part of those explorations.

I’ve always had a hard time explaining what it is that I do when I write here, partially because my focus is so wide.

My name is Madeleine and I am a student at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI (I really enjoyed your post a little while ago about the old train depot, I actually live about 5 block away from it!) I have been reading your wonderful gem of a blog for probibly close to a year now and I thoroughly enjoy checking up on it once and a while to see what you have to say--your writing and photographs are very inspiring and lively. I am currently taking a new course at Wayne State University entitled "Folklore and the Internet" and for our midterm project we have to choose a web-site and analyse it from a folklorists perspective. I see your blog as a great example of this because you have included classical examples of digital folklore (foodways, ritual, story telling, ghost stories, digital memorials, etc). I would like to focus on your blog for my essay, but I felt it unfair to begin writing it without asking you first. The essay will not be published in any place, and will simply be printed out and handed to my professor who will grade it, and then give it back to me. I do not intend to use it in any other place or publish it digitally. Your site will be adequatly included in the Bibliography, and your words will be enclosed in parenthesis and not altered in any way. If you are uncomfortable with this in any way at all, please feel free to say so and I can simply look for a differnt site to focus on. I simply am inspired by your work and think it carries a significant link to the things we have been discussing in my class. the textbook for the course is actually really interesting. Its entitled Folklore and the Internet: Vernacular Expression in a Digital World-- Edited by Trevor J. Blank. I would also like to say (in this comment which is growing and growing!) That I uphold your and the content on your blog in the highest respect and have no interest in disrespecting you or any of the materials your publish here--I would also be happy to send on my paper to you via e-mail when its completed if you'd like. I hope you're having a beautiful day, Madeleine Hello hello!

Thank you!! And that fashion article was good. I think your fashion perception also depends on where you are living. Austin as liberal as it is, is still an island in a non-creative Republican sea. I mean, I've been dressing in whatever mode I wish for years now...and there's always been some status quo of style that everyone else is wearing and looking down on me for not conforming to. Of course, I've mainly started wearing things more for comfort than for style. Except for drag. lol I just found a new band to download!!! Thank you!! And that fashion article was good.
